SUMMER MISSION PROJECT: We are accepting donations of school and craft supplies, socks, and underwear for children in need in Niagara Falls. School supplies and clothing will be distributed directly to students by the teachers and nurses at Harry Abate Elementary School as they identify those who truly need assistance. Craft supplies will support Potter’s Field, as they meet with and mentor high risk children who do not have a stable adult in their life. Please remember this project as you do your shopping this summer.
TODAY is the last week to donate to our July mission envelopes designated for EIGHT DAYS OF HOPE (EDOH). This is a volunteer Christian organization that works throughout the United States to serve those affected by natural and human disasters. Their trained Rapid Response Teams have boots on the ground within 2-3 days and remain for a minimum of EIGHT DAYS, sharing the love of Christ, cleaning debris, salvaging personal belongings, and providing up to 8000 meals as well as shower and laundry facilities with their mobile trailers. They also work in depressed areas, donating repair work for homeowners in need. To support EDOH, place your mission envelope in the offering plate during July or donate online, choosing “Monthly Mission”.
Community Mission has a critical need for bath towels and washcloths for use in their shelter. Used items are acceptable if they are clean and in useable condition. New or used items can be dropped off at their main office, 1570 Buffalo Avenue anytime, 7 days a week.
